Looking for anyone who has successfully installed Proxmox on an HP ProLiant DL380 G6 with a Smart Array P411 controller. I have tried Proxmox 7, 8, and 9. Most attempts end in a black screen or kernel panic. Debian itself also fails to detect the RAID 0 logical drive. I have tried both the older CCISS driver and the modern HPSA driver with no luck. Ubuntu installs without issues and sees the array fine, but I do not want Ubuntu running bare metal. I chose Proxmox because the original ESXi install is full of security vulnerabilities and ongoing problems, and I need something better supported. Has anyone got Proxmox working on this exact hardware, or found a reliable way to make the P411 visible during install?
PS. unfortunately I cannot update the firmware right now and since it is not mine and it is for the place that are work in, this is the test hardware that they gave me to try proxmox and see if it's better than EXSI or not.
